Among distinguished characters in mystical compositions is "Pir-e Moghān" with an inclination towards Malamati ideas. This lyrical persona, who usually appears as an alternative to the khāneqāh (Sufi Commune) guides, was the most influential symbol of the “Sorud-hā-ye Rendāneh” (pious rogue compositions) at a certain period of the history of the Persian lyrical history. Among the interpretations of this group of poets, especially Hafez, various interpretations of the “Pir-e Moghān” have been suggested. Beyond those explanations and analyses, and having in mind the first poetical compositions containing this symbolism, the writer has interpreted this idea as "sharābe dir sāle Mogh Sākhteh" (The old wine made by the Mogh – Magi), which according to the pattern of "hum" has been personified as "Pir-e Moghān" with distinguishing behavioral attitudes, tendencies and beliefs.
